New EP Features E-40, Reese, Erk Tha Jerk, Zaytoven; Out Now For Free Download
Last week, Atlanta rapper Tez McClain released his new EP, Scoundrel. The project, Tez’ first release since touring recently with the likes of Killer Mike, Mistah FAB, and Eligh, includes features from E-40, Reese, Erk Tha Jerk, HBK Skipper, along with production from Zaytoven and Natural Disaster. It’s also a project that finds Tez at his most aggressive, lacing the 10-track project with assertive, unrelenting bars, and a perfect example of that is new single “By Any Means,” which features Hollywood Da Prynce, and for which Tez is releasing a video today.
Driven by a winding synth line and sinister 808’s, all courtesy of producer Natural Disaster, the track, as Tez puts it, explains “the mentality of the average dude from urban America that feels worthless without money and tangibles.” The video, directed by Be El Be, brings that sentiment to life, all dark imagery that tells the story of a young man who commits armed robbery in an attempt to maintain a certain lifestyle, and the repercussions that come with it.
